The Internet Beggar Godfather - 'The Grand Marshal of Bamboo Mats'

Recently, I saw many people on a certain platform not understanding: why does Liang Xi post a payment QR code, and so many people willingly send him money? Are these people foolish?

In fact, gambling to the extreme is a kind of spectacle in itself.

The reason Liang Xi can continue to appear at the poker table is largely related to his persistence and courage.

Another very important reason is that after making money this time, he has gradually paid back all those who lent him money back then, with both principal and interest.

Although one can question his strategy, do not underestimate the memory and aura of gamblers.

It reminds me of when I was a child, there were also a group of people in the village who loved to gamble on points. Some acted as the banker, others placed bets, and those who watched would occasionally shout, 'I’ll place a little bet too,' fully aware of the high possibility of losing, yet still willing to take a risk.

The people sending him money are not really foolish.

They just understand better than you: the banker in a gambling game does not always win, and those who observe and bet do not necessarily lose.

Liang Xi receiving money is actually like the act of observing and betting.

These people may not gamble, but they are willing to watch others gamble.

They do not expect a return; they just want to participate.

For them, this is neither an investment nor charity; it is a kind of 'betting behavior' imbued with aesthetic meaning.

Some believe in logic, some believe in odds, and some prefer the narrative of a loser making a comeback.

Those transfers are not just money; they may be more an emotion, a projection, a little piece of 'abstract hope' being delivered.
